In the quiet courtyard, several birds were chirping on the tree tops.
The lilacs in the yard were in bloom. When the wind blew, bursts of fragrance wafted over from time to time.
In the courtyard, there were two old rattan chairs. A middle-aged man and an old man were sitting there, with a pot of top-quality Longjing tea and an intense chess game on the board. It seemed to blend in perfectly with the elegant scenery of the courtyard.
Bai Xin frowned as he looked at the chessboard, lost in deep thought.
The old man was smiling as he fanned himself, sipping the excellent Longjing tea, looking carefree.
After a long while, Bai Xin clasped his fists and smiled wryly. "Old Li, you truly deserve to be called a master of traditional Chinese medicine in China. Even your Go skills are outstanding!"
Li Yanhua waved his hand with a smile. "I only know a little."
He seemed modest, but there was a hint of pride in his brows.
"The white pieces aren't dead. If you place a piece in the heart of the black dragon, within nine moves, you'll surely cut off the dragon. And within twenty moves, you'll surely gain the upper hand."
At some point, a young man had appeared beside the chessboard. Perhaps the two old men were too engrossed and didn't notice.
Li Yanhua frowned as he looked over.
Bai Xin quickly got up and introduced to Li Yanhua, "Old Li, this is the young physician I told you about. It was he who cured my stubborn illness."
"Mr. Qin has arrived. You should have let me know in advance so that I could have entertained you properly." Bai Xin apologized.
Qin Mo smiled faintly. "Seeing that you and this old grandpa were playing chess, I didn't want to disturb you."
Li Yanhua calmly sized up the young man in front of him. Then he said, "Since this young man said so, how about you finish this game of chess for Brother Bai?"
Qin Mo was taken aback. He looked at Bai Xin. Bai Xin quickly nodded. So Qin Mo sat down without being polite.
Watching Qin Mo place his pieces, Li Yanhua smiled faintly. He didn't take this twenty-year-old lad seriously. His Go skills were such that few people in Long City could beat him. Let alone an unknown young man?
But as the game progressed, Li Yanhua's smile gradually disappeared.
He put away his fan and set it aside. The steaming Longjing tea had already gone cold, and he had forgotten to drink it.
"I lost." After holding a black piece in the air for a long time, Li Yanhua finally sighed and put the black piece back into the chess basket. The number of moves just now was exactly twenty to kill the black pieces. It was no different from what Qin Mo had predicted.
"Thanks for letting me win." Qin Mo said with a faint smile.
Li Yanhua couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing that Qin Mo wasn't arrogant after winning, he felt a bit more admiration in his heart. Being so young and having such a mindset was really remarkable. Actually, Li Yanhua was overthinking...
Qin Mo just thought he was too easy to beat, just like beating up a primary school student. There was no joy at all. Of course, he couldn't let the old grandpa hear this, or he might get sick from anger.
After the game, the three of them went back to the room.
Bai Xin took off his clothes and lay on the bed to receive Qin Mo's physical therapy. Li Yanhua just watched quietly. He hadn't come here today specifically to play chess with his old friend.
He had only heard from Bai Xin that a young physician had cured his stubborn illness using traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture methods. This had piqued Li Yanhua's interest. You should know that even he, an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, couldn't cure his old friend's illness.
Most likely, it wasn't very believable. Seeing that Qin Mo was so young, he didn't expect him to have any special skills. In the profession of traditional Chinese medicine, the older you are, the more skilled you usually are. This is an inevitable rule.
If it weren't for that game of chess just now, Li Yanhua would have gotten up and left by now.
Li Yanhua squinted as he watched. When he saw the silver needles in Qin Mo's hand catch fire and land on Bai Xin's back, the teacup in his hand dropped to the ground in shock. He looked at Qin Mo with a stunned expression.
"Fire moxibustion?" Li Yanhua exclaimed.
Dozens of burning silver needles landed on Bai Xin's back. Bai Xin's back seemed to be on fire, emitting a bright light. After a while, Bai Xin felt much more comfortable on his back.
"Whose apprentice are you?" Li Yanhua stood up excitedly.
Qin Mo shook his head. "Self-taught."
Regarding the matter in the Wilderness, his grandparents had instructed him not to blabber about it when he was out. Talking too much about their affairs would only bring disaster upon himself. Li Yanhua suddenly asked, "What do you think of the book 'Huangdi Neijing'?"
"There are some fallacies in it, as well as cause and effect. The unity of man and nature, and only by being in harmony can one be healthy and live a long life." Qin Mo thought this old man was a bit interesting since he was interested in traditional Chinese medicine. So he patiently answered.
Li Yanhua couldn't help but nod, looking as if he had suddenly seen the light.
Bai Xin watched from the side and laughed heartily. "Old Li, what do you think?"
"A rare genius physician, better than me." Li Yanhua smiled self-deprecatingly. Just from the lost art of fire moxibution and Qin Mo's understanding of ancient medical books, his realm was far above his own.
B Bai Xin teased with a laugh, "Haha! Old Li, don't be sad. Your grandson has achieved quite a lot too!"
"At such a young age, he has developed an extraordinary medicine. He won first place in the national medical competition. Truly remarkable!"
Li Yanhua stroked his white beard. Hearing Bai Xin's praise, his face was full of pride. His grandson was now his biggest bragging right. He had already become a prominent figure in Long City.
"Is your grandson called Li Xiang?" Suddenly, Qin Mo asked coldly.
Li Yanhua was taken aback and then nodded.
Qin Mo couldn't stop laughing coldly. "This is the third time I've reminded your Li family."
"That pill was refined by me. It's not for you to eat. A week from now, after taking the pill, you'll surely bleed from all seven orifices and die without treatment. There's no doubt about it!
"Your Li family, take care of yourselves."
After saying that, Qin Mo turned around and left, leaving Li Yanhua dumbfounded.
.....
In the evening, at the Li family villa.
Li Yanhua was sitting on the sofa, looking pensive. The whole Li family, young and old, didn't dare to make a sound in front of the family head.
Just then, the door opened and Li Xiang rushed in excitedly.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma. Our school has given me a five-million-yuan research fund and will also build an independent medical laboratory for me!" Li Xiang was holding various gifts in his hands, all given by his fans today.
Seeing that his family didn't react at all, Li Xiang's smile gradually froze.
"Come here!" Li Yanhua scolded sternly.
Li Xiang walked uneasily to stand opposite his grandpa.
"Did you really develop this pill?" Li Yanhua's sharp eyes were fixed on his grandson. The Li family had always been strict with its family traditions. Li Xiang's eyes dodged, and he said firmly, "Who else could it be if not me!"
"You're still lying now!" Li Yanhua was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Li Xiang and asked tremblingly, "Do you know who Qin Mo is?" Li Xiang was stunned. He didn't expect his grandpa to know.
Suddenly being exposed like this was really uncomfortable.
"So what if it's him! But all this fame and fortune are mine!" Li Xiang roared. "You want me to hand over the pills? Impossible!" Angrily, he went back to his room and locked the door.
Li Xiang had been completely blinded by fame and fortune.
Facing the worship of countless people, the admiration of countless people, and the respect of his teacher. These were things that Li Xiang had never experienced before. Compared to Qin Mo's nonsense remarks, he couldn't bear to part with this fame.
Li Yanhua hugged his head in pain.
He was even more worried about Qin Mo's words.
Seven days from now, this person will surely die!
...
Qin Mo went to the Baihe Pharmacy to buy some more medicinal materials and went back to refine the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill again.
With the help of the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill, his cultivation improved little by little. In a few days, he might be able to reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. The next night, Qin Mo tidied himself up and went to Liu Xiaoli's birthday party. The party wasn't far from Huahai University, it was at the Tianfu Hotel.
When Qin Mo arrived, many students from Huahai University had already come.
Liu Xiaoli had a good personality and was very popular at Huahai University. Because she was also a beauty at the level of the department flower in the Art Department, many people wanted to be friends with her. "I heard that Qin Mo was invited this time too." In the crowd, Wang Yang, a little follower, whispered to Liu Qiang. He was something of an information hub at Huahai University, specializing in gathering all kinds of information about Xu for Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang sneered coldly. "Huahai University is so far from the Tianfu Hotel. How will he get here? By bus?" The students around heard Liu Qiang's words and laughed. Xu Yan frowned as she looked at him.
Seeing that Qin Mo hadn't arrived yet, Liu Qiang deliberately parked his Audi A8 in front of the hotel, just waiting for Qin Mo to arrive so that he could humiliate him again with his car. Today, in front of so many classmates, it was a good opportunity.
Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she kicked Liu Qiang's Audi A8. "Liu Qiang, are you that bored? If you keep this up, you can leave on your own!"
Just as Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, a strong sound wave came from the street!
The sound of a car ripping through the street was hard to ignore!
It was a sound that could make men swoon and women throw themselves at it!
A Lamborghini appeared in front of everyone.
"Isn't this car... Qian Di's from our school?" Liu Qiang and the others were stunned. Even seeing this Lamborghini again, they were still deeply attracted. Not only because of its high price, but also its perfect modifications and the body that glowed at night.
The Lamborghini parked next to the Audi A8, instantly making the Audi A8 look like an Alto.
But the person who got out of the car shocked everyone!
Qin Mo? How could it be Qin Mo?
Wasn't this Lamborghini Qian Di's?
Xu Yan was stunned there, staring dumbfounded.
Qin Mo walked over with a smile. "Liu Xiaoli, happy birthday." He simply said.
Liu Qiang and the others immediately went crazy with laughter like they had been injected with chicken blood. "Qin Mo, you're so vain. You don't have to borrow your roommate's sports car to come here! If you want to drive a luxury car, you can borrow mine!"
"Yeah! Driving someone else's car to show off here. You're really full of yourself."
"I hate people like this who have no real ability but still want to show off."
Xu Yan frowned, looking at Qin Mo with a bit of helplessness. At the same time, she also felt a bit guilty in her heart. Had she been too harsh with her words that day, hurting his self-esteem and making him need to borrow a car to come out?
Qin Mo frowned slightly, looking at these people's ugly faces.
"Big Brother Li, if you're not happy, you can beat them up. Blood at a birthday party is a good omen." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoli was such a funny girl. Qin Mo laughed out loud.
He was too lazy to bother with these people and walked into the Tianfu Hotel.
"Hey!" Suddenly, Qin Mo's shoulder was blocked by Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang had a smile on his lips, seemingly not planning to let this matter go easily. "I just want to ask if this car is borrowed. Why are you running away if you're guilty?"
Qin Mo's eyes gradually turned cold. "This car is mine."
